Shouting at Weather Red 2025

Our first still red wine comes from the beautiful 2025 vintage. The grapes for this wine came from our first year farming a small parcel of around 1000 vines just outside Ross-on-Wye. Though this site is not certified organic we use the same methods we employ on our Turnastone site. 

The grapes for our red come from just six rows of vines. Rondo, Regent and Triomphe planted between 1991-2000. 

2025 was a beautiful summer which was very welcome after a tough year like 2024. We were fortunate to avoid any late spring frosts, though spring was a little stop/start. However, once summer kicked in we were gifted with beautiful long, hot days allowing a fantastic flowering period leading to perfect ripe, flavourful grapes.

Rondo and Regent were picked, crushed and pressed together. The crushed fruit spent 10 days on the skins before pressing, with the Triomphe added as whole bunches. The wine was then racked to barrel where it ended its natural fermentation and then aged for a further 12 months. The mature wine was then racked from barrel before bottling with minimal sulphur in summer 0f 2026.
